Both tools handle PDF tasks. The difference is where your files go and how much you can do. Filagram processes everything in your browser and covers image and developer tools too.

iLovePDF uploads your documents to remote servers to process them. Filagram runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your files are never transmitted anywhere — critical for legal, financial, or sensitive documents.
iLovePDF is PDF-only with 25+ tools. Filagram includes those PDF capabilities plus 15+ image tools and developer utilities like JSON formatter, Base64 encoder, JWT decoder, hash generator, UUID generator, and more — 70+ tools total.
iLovePDF gates most useful features behind a login. Filagram gives you full access to tools without signing up. The free tier provides 5 uses per day across all tools with no account required.
iLovePDF Premium starts at $7/month. Filagram Pro is $4.99/month or $39.99/year. Unlike iLovePDF, Filagram never adds watermarks on any tier — free or paid.
iLovePDF works well for straightforward PDF tasks if you don't mind uploading files and creating an account. Filagram is better if privacy matters, if you need image or developer tools alongside PDF, or if you want a lower price without watermarks on any tier.
70+ tools. No upload. No account required. 5 free uses per day.
